Hello Theo,

 JT> Oh, ok, then explain to me how they DO work. Well stuff me if

 BL> They measure the range differential over time.
 
 JT> In english?

 TB> If you take two or more readings you can get the tanks dV/dt and it's 
 TB> vector from the relative coordinates in time, you can subsequently 
 TB> integrate and predict future position of the target at a given time.

 Assuming they hold current course, but now I understand.

 TB> IOW what he says is if you know the target goes this fast from there
 TB> to  there it gets gets there just in time to score the grenade or two
 TB> you  lobbed on that position:-)

 What ever happened to the normal speeding ticket?  Wasn't the points and

 It'll stop you from speeding anyway...
